Ha ha!
I've had the speakers - Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 with woofter - since the dark ages when I picked them up in a PC World bargain bin and they still give the most amazing sound.
And the desk is my late father's and has survived quite well considering how many house moves I've made in the last couple of decades.

I just love how you say Amazing sound like you have ever heard something as amazing as say Klipsch speakers or Polk audio. LOL
You would absolutely through them in the Garbage can once you listened to one movie or one song on my system.
LOL!

My DELL runs a bit too hot for my taste and sounds like an airplane.

I use an USB fan during summer, very useful. Now it's being used as a way to lower ambient temp in the case when I game lol.
It's not stupid if it works.

 

[trickson]

Only 3K for 5.1 so far. Need one thousand more for 2 more speakers (next week) LOL.

Jesus christ.

I'm an audiophile, but I'm glad I haven't used nor try some super high-end grade stuff. It's like seeing a 120hz monitor for the first time; you then realize the difference between 60hz and 120hz and don't want to go back.

Thanks! Default Dell G5 one, so I have no credit, but the form factor is amazing.
Thanks for the tip, was thinking about changing the whole thing, but yeah a CPU cooler would be a good idea. The back fan seems to not make enough negative pression in the case too, so it doesn't get enough fresh air to cool down the good stuff.

but yeah a CPU cooler would be a good idea.

LOL man my AVR Denon is like the Cheapest there is comes in at 500 bucks new.
But yeah I am an audiophile and require the best in speakers at the very least.
Why would you put 2-3K in a video card and not even think of the sound?
Doesn't make sense to me.
WE spend up to 10 thousand dollars for a computer to give 30FPS in tomb raider and 5 bucks for some shit ass crap speakers? WOW just OMG WOW! Or headphone OMG do not get me stated on them useless pieces of Shizt! OMG I have an ear infection right now (Yes just got all the medication for it ear drops and the such) so they would be for me as useful as a cock flavored lollipop!
But yeah please tell me why you would spend so much on just one thing? I like it all Ultra 4K 73" Sony 7.2 True Atmos! The list goes on in the sig. and Thank god for rich men I am getting a new

Wait for it!

Just got the PC lol, with the prices nowadays, found a bargain and went with it as is. Haven't start upgrading it . Haven't got the chance yet mate. It's like a first date; you gotta start things slowly before putting your hands in there lol. Gotta start learning to know my beast.

Haaaa nostalgia!!!

P5N-D with Intel Q6600, started with a Geforce 6600GT then went with a SLI of 9600GT. Woa, good old days pal.

I always thought Cambridge made good stuff. You should look into them..

I love my XPS 13, but damn, Dell really isn't one to innovate much huh......that cooler looks the same as the one atop the i7-3770 in my 2012 XPS 8500.

Found this on the Dell forum for the 9th gen-based G5 desktop, outwardly they look the same, dunno if the LGA1200 board is different:



If true, that doesn't bode well for aftermarket coolers. Only Noctua I can think of that doesn't use a backplate would be the L9i, which is really not an upgrade.

 

[trickson]

Yikes! Would that be for 8K?

Have you seen the price of video cards?

Indeed they do and frankly, my speakers do what's intended and I use headphones 75% of the time so as not to disturb the wife when she's number crunching.
In fact, a new set of wireless headphones is next on my shopping list as the crappy fake leatherette is falling to bits on my Corsair HS40.
Still, each to his own.

Wow, I need to look into that as soon as I get home. That would be damn stupid, but wouldn't surprise me from Dell.
I love their enterprise stuff, but consumer side is often kind of cheap, but to machine the backplate in the case, wow.

I have extremely sensitive ears and get ear infections from wearing things like headphones and even after a dip in my hot tub! I just received yet another ear infection.
It is hard to describe listening to headphones and then well listening to Klipsch there is no comparison whatsoever.
You are all to young to remember Memorex T.V. Commercial where the guy is sitting in a chair and the flute of Champaign starts to walk across the table into his waiting hand? Well listening to my system is much like that commercial: Is it live or is it Memorex?
Once hearing my system your ears would punish you for putting crap on them much like mine do.
Oh and if others do not want to be disturbed in the entertainment center of the house they can go to there ROOM!

You often get what you pay for.
Can you HONESTLY tell me that a pair of $40.00 dollar Technic Speakers can even hold a candle to one of my $550.00 Klipsch speakers you have a world of learning and TECHNICAL research to do, Best get cracking on now..
